It'd be personification, because the author is giving human-like characteristics to the stars, e.g. the stars holding and throwing spears.

The answer is <u>personification</u>.

Personification is a metaphor and a literary device that takes place when a thing, idea, abstract qualities, any aspect of nature, emotions or event is given human characteristics. This is used in the excerpt when the narrator gives the starts the human attribute of throwing spears as if stars had the consciousness and will to perform such action as humans do.

In a paragraph of at least three sentences, explain the tone of this excerpt from Little Brother. Provide details from the text
Mrrafil [7]
The author seems almost defeated ("I decided I couldn't run..") but also has a more ethical tone, saying his freedom wasn't worth anything if the city was still under DHS and his friends were still locked up and that his freedom wasn't  as important as a free country.

Read the excerpt from chapter 7 of Night.
mojhsa [17]

Fro the excerpt based on the Nights, the evidence that best support the author's viewpoint is the last two options that talk about the shadow lain down and the father who had bread for his son, Mier. Thus, options D and E are correct.

<h3>What is the idea of the book the Nights?</h3>

The Nights is a book that is based on the horror and terror of the Nazi concentration camp and the story of a father. In the passage, it can be seen that food was very precious as the father was trying to hide the piece of bread.

The situation showcases the hunger as the man was getting attacked by the others when they saw him having bread. The author portrays the situation as if the people were very hungry and dying of starvation.

Therefore, the people became very cruel when they were starved.

<span>The answers are the following:

1. The ancient Chinese board game Go was invented long before there was any writing to record its rules. A game from the impossibly distant past has now brought us closer to a moment that once seemed part of an impossibly distant future: a time when machines are cleverer than we are.

2. </span>For years, Go was considered the last redoubt against the march of computers. Machines might win at chess, draughts, Othello, three dimensional noughts and crosses, Monopoly, bridge and poker. Go, though, was different.

The game requires intuition, strategising, character reading, along with vast numbers of moves and permutations. According to legend, it was invented by a Chinese emperor to teach his subjects balance and patience, qualities unique to human intelligence.

3. This week a computer called AlphaGo defeated the world’s best player of Go. It did so by “learning” the game, crunching through 30 million positions from recorded matches, reacting and anticipating. It evolved as a player and taught itself.

That single game of Go marks a milestone on the road to “technological singularity”, the moment when artificial intelligence becomes capable of self-improvement and learns faster than humans can control or understand.
